It’s 1992. Agent Adams is handed another missing persons case—this time, it’s Julia Monroe, a twenty-four-year-old Harvard graduate who had only just returned to her family’s Bethesda home. Julia vanishes without a trace. No signs of forced entry. No goodbye note. Just an empty bedroom and a family unraveling by the hour. The deeper Adams digs, the stranger the story becomes. Julia’s mother is more irritated than distraught. Her brother recalls a gardener with a too-slick smile. And the timeline doesn’t add up—Julia was last seen walking in the opposite direction of where she said she was going. Then, a quiet discovery upends the entire investigation. A single clue leads Agent Adams to a chilling Julia’s disappearance occurred less than ten miles from the former home of Charlotte Mercer, a child who vanished without explanation six years earlier. Coincidence—or something much darker? Based on true events.
